Eat this not That!. CRIPES!

[Krandall]

KFC's Double Down is healthy! (uh, compared to these meals ... )

Now I know why I never take my family out to eat. It's only partly because it costs a fortune and because my kids will sit for all of seven minutes before the game of hide-and-seek under other patrons' tables starts up -- but it's because of those awful CALORIES.

Enter KFC's Double Down, 540 calories of salty bacon and cheese goodness sandwiched between fried chicken. You've heard a lot of talk about this. The guys in my office are in love with this sandwich and regularly make a lunchtime pilgrimage.

I've privately cringed at the thought of such a high-fat lunch, but recently the The Week featured a list of seven popular chain-restaurant meals that make KFC's now infamous Double Down sandwich look like something they'd serve at a weight-loss spa.



I honestly didn't think it possible to cram upward of 4,000 calories and 4,000 mg of salt (twice the recommended daily intake) into a singular midday meal, but here's just a few to prove me wrong.

Beef Back Ribs from Claim Jumper = 4,301 calories and 7,623 mg of salt   
Equivalent to eating: Nearly 8 of KFC's Double Downs


Fresh Mex Sampler from Chevys = 2,560 calories and 4,130 mg of salt
Equivalent to eating: 4.75 Double Downs


Jalapeno Smokehouse Burger from Chili's = 2,130 calories and 6,460 mg of salt
Equivalent to eating: 3.9 Double Downs
